As Tian Cai led Mimi and Maomao down the mountain, they ran into Hu Xiaohong and Wang Songhua, mother and daughter. They were standing there arguing fiercely about something, each carrying a basket.
When Hu Xiaohong looked up and saw Tian Cai coming over, she quickly stopped talking, readjusted her expression, and said with a very natural smile, "Hey, Doctor Tian, are you going up the mountain to collect herbs?"
After all, Wang Songhua was still young and couldn't adjust herself for a while, so she looked very stiff.
Tian Cai pretended not to see it, nodded to the two of them, and went straight across the bridge to the village.
With her interruption, Hu Xiaohong's anger subsided a little. She stepped forward, grabbed Wang Songhua's arm, and said earnestly, "Mom will never harm you. The Ma family is well-off. Your aunt Wang Ying said that you can smell the smell of meat coming from their house every now and then. You will definitely have a good life if you marry into their family!"
Wang Songhua still disagreed. "I've asked around. Ma Sangang is ugly. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in his twenties and still not find a partner."
"You just listen to what people say. Ma San Gang is only average-looking, how can he be associated with ugly? Don't all men look the same? Listen to my mother. A man's good conditions are useful, just like good looks. But what difference can you make after you blow out the lights? You girls are the only ones who still look at looks when looking for a partner. You'll know when you get married. Good looks are useless. Being willing to work and earn money is more important than anything else."
"Then I don't want to find an ugly one!" Wang Songhua refused to give in.
"You kid, you think you are a fairy. You don't agree with this or that. What kind of person do you want to find?" The two of them have been arguing about this for several months. No matter how much patience Hu Xiaohong has, she has almost exhausted it. She couldn't help but speak in a harsh tone.
Wang Songhua looked at her mother in disbelief, as if she didn't recognize her.
In the past, no matter what her mother was like, she would always follow her opinion and choose a young man with good conditions. Even the most picky people would not be able to find anything bad about him. But since they separated from her brother, her mother seemed to have become a different person. She insisted that she find someone with good conditions and would definitely put Li Yuqin above him.
Wang Songhua was willing at first. The mother and daughter had suffered such a great loss at the hands of Li Yuqin. Even though their relationship with Wang Songbai had eased now, they were unwilling to just give up.
Li Yuqin relies on the fact that her family is well-off and she has many brothers, so she will find someone with even better conditions and more brothers.
As a result, Wang Songhua found out that the remaining ones were all ugly. Anyone with better conditions and good looks would have been engaged long ago, and there was no chance for her at all.
Yesterday, her mother asked someone to introduce her to the third son of the Ma family from the Red Star Commune. When she went to the county, she happened to meet her former classmate He Peifeng, so she married into the Red Star Commune. Wang Songhua secretly asked her about Ma Sangang, but He Peifeng said that Ma Sangang was ugly with a very long face, worthy of his surname Ma, and his face looked like a horse's. He was also not tall, which was why the Ma family, despite having good conditions, could not find a partner in the commune.
Seeing Wang Songhua looking at her with a hurt expression, Hu Xiaohong knew that her tone was not good, and her daughter knew her own temper, so she softened her voice, "Don't just look at her looks and other external things. Ma Sangang is a worker in the county. That's a stable job. I've heard that their machinery factory is going to build a building. When it's finished, it will be distributed to the employees. You can move to the county and live in a small building. How can your life be the same as ours? Then you will become a city dweller. You have seen city people before. What do they eat and wear? Don't you think about it? Mother is doing this for your own good."
Wang Songhua was silent. She was also quite tempted by this, but she became conflicted again when she thought of what He Peifeng said about Ma Sangang not being good-looking. She remembered that the man worked in the county, so she simply went to Hongxing Commune to see him in person under the pretext of visiting an old classmate.
Let's see when the time comes. If it's really too ugly to look at, then forget it. She doesn't want to face a disgusting ugly face for decades to come. If it looks okay -
It’s not like she can’t listen to her mother.
Seeing that she said nothing more, Hu Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she could continue talking to the matchmaker. Her daughter knew herself well, so it would be better not to let the two meet before the wedding. Even if they met, Ma Sangang would have to take care of herself.
She didn't know that Wang Songhua had made up her mind to go and see the real person.
So the mother and daughter reconciled and went up the mountain chatting and laughing again.
Tian Cai asked Qin Ling to help get back a white jade bead. At first glance, it looked very similar to the one Cai Ping had at that time. She put a red string on it and hung it around her neck.
Tian Cai deliberately shortened the rope so that the white beads would hang on her collarbone.
The red string and white beads match the snow-white neck, making the white even whiter and the red even redder. The two straight and attractive collarbones next to it make people's cheeks slightly hot.
After she had been wandering around the village for two days, Zheng Xiuyan arrived.
This time the excuse was to buy medicine again. Tian Cai had long felt that this man had ulterior motives. Seeing his gaze drifting towards him vaguely, his mind moved slightly, and he felt that he could say a few more words this time.
"Xiu Zhiqing, why do you always like to buy medicine? These pills have a shelf life, and their efficacy will deteriorate over time." Tian Cai said as he poured the fever-reducing pills that Xiu Yan wanted into the bamboo tube, then found the lid and closed it.
Xiuzhenyan smiled gently and said innocuously, "I just have this problem. Maybe I suffered from myrrh when I was a kid, so now I like to take precautions. Didn't you see that I don't buy much each time? I just have the habit of preparing a portion. Even if I don't need it, there are still so many people at the educated youth site, so there will always be a time when it will come in handy."
It’s not a lot, just five pills each time, which makes this person look even more abnormal.
Tian Cai bent down and took out a bottle from the cabinet below. It was a white porcelain bottle with a bamboo outlined on it with a few very simple strokes. Although the strokes were simple, the bamboo was very elegant and vivid.
"I just made some anti-diarrhea medicine. How about I give you some too?" She said as she unscrewed the bottle cap with a special technique in front of Xiuzhen Yan.
This bottle was found among Cai Ping's belongings. There were not many of them, only two. Cai Ping had taught her how to open it before, and she thought it was quite interesting at the time.
Twist it twice on the left side and three times on the right side, then press down, and the bottle mouth will automatically pop open. Moreover, the bottle has a very good sealing performance. Tian Cai has tried it before, and even if water is filled in, it will not spill out if it is fastened properly.
If Xiuzhen Yan was really the person sent from there, he should be familiar with these things. It is impossible for Quan Xiangrong to send him out without saying anything.
